However, Iraq already has a plan. If Israel wants to invade Jordan's airspace, then the Iraqi Air Force will never let them go!

Four Mirage 4000s have already flown over the border between Iraq and Jordan, and are about to enter the war zone.

The early warning plane suddenly discovered that the Israeli plane had crossed the border, and the Syrian plane had flown into Jordan's airspace!

Violating Jordan's airspace is an active provocation to the entire Arab world!The pre-warning personnel on the pre-warning plane immediately ordered the Phantom 4000 to speed up to the airspace, and at the same time, commanded the Syrian fighter planes to leave.

"Qingyun, in TWS mode, scan the opponent's plane and prepare a sparrow." Neil said, at this time, those planes had disappeared from their screens, and they needed to be scanned again.

"Three targets, azimuth 2-1-2, distance 900, speed [-]." Nahumi's radar screen has already shown the opponent's trajectory, and this time, they will be shot down again!

Through the data link, Neil also received the same signal, "Turn on the afterburner, accelerate again, and prepare to launch the missile."

Now that they have been captured, they cannot be allowed to escape again!

The hunter's early warning plane has begun to fly south. According to the regulations, the early warning plane needs to get out of the attack range of the enemy plane. Two F-20 fighter jets accompany the hunter's early warning plane.

"Attention, the following aircraft will launch missiles again, preparing for evasive flight."

The pre-warning aircraft has observed the situation of the battle at this time, and the aircraft in the row above have already occupied a favorable position, and are about to launch medium-range bombs again.

At this moment, an unexpected phenomenon appeared. Two MiG-23s continued to fly north, while one of them performed a large overload maneuver in the air, turned its flight course, and headed towards the Israeli fighters fly away.

"Tonglei No. 23, please return immediately, and Thunder No. 4000, return immediately." The personnel on the pre-warning plane called urgently, as long as the MiG-[-] fleet continued to fly north, then the Israeli aircraft could be taken with them. To the north, then, the Mirage [-] aircraft reinforced by our side can launch an attack from the side. The Israeli column does not have the support of an early warning aircraft, and the sneak attack is likely to be successful, but now, this plan will be disrupted.

When they flew into the airspace of Jordan, the Israelis were still chasing them. Al knew that although they were under the command of the pre-warning plane, they could escape smoothly.However, considering that they are the Syrian Air Force, the best pilots in Syria, they are now going to run away in despair, leaving the Iraqi pilots to deal with the Israelis. In this way, the Syrian Air Force will be overwhelmed by the Iraqi Air Force , So, Al finally made up his mind to shoot down an Israeli plane!

When flying in formation just now, Al flew at the end, so the two planes that came did not notice that his lead plane had disappeared.

People of Israel, come on, Al shouted in his heart. At the same time, he turned on the radar in front of his nose, ready to launch the R-23 missile he was carrying.

"Attention, reassign the target, Qingyun, deal with the enemy plane that turned around." Neil said, seeing that the other party actually had one flying towards them, this opportunity should not be missed.

Chapter 8 Eleven The sky is shining, and it missed the target for the first time?

Through the data link, the Mirage 4000 fighter jets have received the information from the pre-warning plane. The two planes listed in color flew into Jordan’s airspace [-] kilometers away, chasing the three Syrian fighter planes. The originally preset trajectory was just right. A sneak attack was carried out in the direction of the opponent's three o'clock, but a Syrian plane turned to meet the enemy, causing the plan to be disrupted.

Reyel knew that he wanted to use the MiG-23 to shoot down an Israeli aircraft. Although it was just a blip on the radar and he didn't know the opponent's model, judging from the opponent's afterburner flight, it should be an F- 15 fighters, the performance of this aircraft is much higher than that of the MiG-23, the Syrian pilots are very brave.

However, bravery does not mean recklessness. Air combat is not a matter of a pilot, an aircraft, or a formation, but a confrontation of the entire system!Reyel has already deeply understood this point. Air combat involves the command of the early warning aircraft and the cooperation of various squadrons. You must be brave and understand the strength of the collective!

With the current situation, Reyel couldn't help thinking about it anymore. The new news from the AAJ was that four more fighter planes were found in the sky above Israel, and there was a danger of crossing the border and entering Jordan's airspace at any time.

While taking off new fighter planes from the rear to meet the enemy, Reyer ordered his formation to split into two two-aircraft formations, Reyer and his wingman to deal with the two F-15 fighters that started the invasion, and the other two to deal with it The following are four other aircraft that may have entered Jordanian airspace.

The battle in the air proceeded very quickly. After Al completed the turning action in the air, the distance between him and the Israeli planes had been shortened to [-] kilometers.

Al started to turn on his "High-altitude Skylark" J-band radar, turned on various switches, and adjusted it to the launch position of the medium-range missile. After that, he heard the voice of the early warning machine coming from the earphone: "Tao Lei No. 3, the opponent The missile has been launched, immediately turn to the 1-2-[-] direction, and release the lock."

The opponent has already locked himself and launched a missile?Al didn't know that compared to the F-15's fire control system, the MiG-23's was much inferior. In such a head-on attack, the fire control's responsiveness would play a big role.

Al didn't listen to the warning machine, he needs to make a battle!Therefore, he still turned the ranging handle to correct the distance error, searched vertically and horizontally to trap the target, and pressed the target input button to intercept.The "A" attack symbol on the left side of the HUD appears, and the radar interception signal light is on for 1 second, 2 seconds, and 3 seconds. The transition time of the HUD screen is very long at this time.Although Al was in a hurry, the computer was not in a hurry. Finally, the intercepted screen appeared, and the "nP" on the head-up display allowed the launch signal to appear.

Al pushed hard on the launch button.

An R-23 missile flew away from his missile pylon, dragging its flames. At this moment, the voice of the pre-warning machine came from Al's earphone again: "The opponent's missile will arrive in eight seconds."

Damn it, at this time, my missile has not yet flown in front of the opponent!Al ignored the early warning aircraft, and still concentrated on operating his own radar. He needed to keep the fuselage stable so that the missile could be guided by the carrier aircraft.

Al’s radar warning receiver did not sound, because the MiG-23 equipped in Syria only has a warning receiver at the rear, and there is a warning when the rear hemisphere is attacked, but in the front hemisphere, in this kind of head-on combat In air combat, it doesn't work.

"Prepare to launch the missile and lock the target." Reyer knew that his side could not help the brave Syrian Air Force pilot now, what they could do was to destroy the Israeli fighter planes!

The RDI pulse Doppler radar provided by Thomson-CSF provided the Phantom 4000 with a powerful air detection capability, and it was also supported by the data link of the early warning aircraft. Therefore, after the radar was turned on, Reyer had successfully captured it. The target, and then, after the calculation of the fire control computer, under the wing, a sky flash missile flew out of the launcher.

Although he started preparations a few seconds later than Al, Reyel's missile launched two seconds earlier than Al's missile.

When the radar turned to the locked state, the radar warning receivers of the two F-15 fighters had already sounded, but at this time their radars were already working in the single-pulse continuous wave guidance mode, and all electromagnetic waves , They are all aiming at the target aircraft to provide their own missiles with the signals needed by the semi-active radar, so they have temporarily lost their ability to perceive the surrounding situation.

Although the long-range radar deployed on the border of Israel at this time has been paying attention to the situation here, but because both Shishi and Qingyun have switched the radio frequency, they cannot receive the radio signal from the ground.

Hearing the sound of the radar warning receiver, Neil intuitively thought it was a missile launched by the opposite plane, and it was too late for the other side to launch the missile at this time, and the own missile would be ready in a dozen seconds. Hit the target.

At present, there are no active-guided air-to-air missiles, semi-active guided missiles, that is, the missile itself has a radar antenna, but the radar antenna of the missile can only receive radar waves passively, and cannot emit radar waves. Therefore, it needs It is only necessary for the carrier aircraft to provide radar photos all the time. This is like a missile with a pair of eyes, but it is relatively dark outside. It needs the carrier aircraft to "turn on the flashlight" to see the target clearly.

Therefore, two confident F-15 pilots believe that although they are illuminated by the opponent's radar, there will be no problem, because by the time the opponent's missile has not reached half the distance, their own missile has already shot down the opponent's plane. When it is down, without the radar of the carrier aircraft, the missiles that have been launched will lose their effect.

"Qingyun, the stone is locked." Neil said with some ease on the radio.

Unexpectedly, the voice that came back surprised him: "Stone, Qingyun has also been locked."

has a problem!Neil was immediately taken aback: "At nine o'clock, maneuver with a large overload and get rid of the opponent's lock."

There is only one plane on the opposite side. If the other party wants to lock on itself and launch a missile, then only one will be locked on. It is absolutely impossible for the radar of one plane to lock on two targets at the same time. Although during the test, F The -14 radar has the ability to attack multiple targets at the same time, but in actual combat, there has never been a successful example.

In other words, there were other planes attacking them!

When Neil was in critical condition, years of flying career and many combat experiences immediately made him subconsciously make this decision to get rid of the lock first!

Locking means that the opponent has launched a missile, which means that you will be hit at any time.

At this time, Neil made a correct judgment. As long as it is a pulse Doppler radar, it will inevitably have this way to get rid of the lock, turn to a suitable angle, and let the opponent's radar treat its own signal as The clutter is filtered out.

It is a pity that when the Sparrow missile was two seconds away from the target, because it lost the radar light and lost the target, it chose to self-destruct just tens of meters away from the MiG-23.

Neil's experience saved his life, and two F-15s successfully avoided the first round of blows from the Mirage 4000.

Because the Phantom 4000 is already equipped with a data link, if the four-aircraft formation is divided into two two-aircraft formations to take radar shots from different directions and transmit them through the data link, then the F-15 will definitely be able to show its original shape. But now, Reyer's two-aircraft formation is going in the same direction, so Reyer is very depressed to find that the sky flash missile he mounted is a very advanced missile in Iraq, the entire Middle East, and the entire world , In the first actual combat shooting, both of them missed the target. It's not that the missiles are not powerful, but the carrier aircraft is not guided well!

"Prepare for another attack, two simultaneous shots." Reyel said, he didn't believe it, he couldn't shoot down the planes of the Israelis.

At this moment, I saw two bright spots on the radar screen, which turned into three.

Damn Syrian pilots!What are you doing!Reyer wished he could jump out of the cockpit now and punch that troublesome Syrian pilot to relieve his anger.

When the MiG-23 fired the missile, the distance between him and the F-15 had been shortened to fifteen kilometers. Although he also fired the missile, the R-23 missed the target, and Al continued to move forward. Fei, at this time the medium-range ammunition is no longer usable, he switched to the close-range mode, ready to kill the Israeli planes in close-range combat.

In other words, the MiG-23 flew within the line of sight of the F-15, and the two sides intertwined together!

In this coordinated operation between the two sides, after the attack of the Syrian aircraft was completed, the finishing work was handed over to the Iraqi Air Force. Therefore, there would be no possibility of misfire between the two parties.

But now, the situation is different. Syrian planes have flown into the airspace intertwined with Israeli planes. Then, identification of friend or foe will become a very troublesome problem.

The Iraqi Air Force's own fighter planes are all equipped with a new generation of friend-or-foe identifiers, which are highly reliable and can effectively display friend and foe on the radar. Those who can answer are their own side, and those who cannot answer are the enemy.

But the Syrians did not. The Syrian planes are still Soviet-style planes equipped with IFF devices, which are also a simplified version of the Soviet Union. The work is very unreliable. Just now, based on the flight trajectory and quantity, plus the command of the early warning plane, it is obvious. Find out the fighter planes of the Israelis and attack them, but now, the three bright spots on the radar are all enemy planes, and one of them must be from Syria. The IFF of the Syrian fighter planes will definitely not be able to answer Interrogation of Iraqi warplane's IFF.

In this case, the sky flashes and can no longer be used. It is necessary to use close-range combat ammunition within the line of sight to resolve the battle.
